Like lebters rel"er to like parts.

The object of my invenion is to construcb trousers, overalls, und likegarments wilahout; tl1e usual outer side seam and out, and to ab tl1esau1e time make the garment appear as if it had been cut, und also togive in the additional sbiffness gained by the use of a weltr seam. Inthe usual oonstruetion of said garments the cloth is cut ab botl1 thesemns of each leg; but obere are also garments whicl1 have only oneseam, usua.lly on t;he innersicle of tl1e leg, so that euch half ol apair of pautaloons is formed of only one parb; bat: such gar ments aresomewhat; unsightly, aud c'onse quezntly unsalable, except for veryrough Wem.
